Best Bath Puff

December 21, 2023 by Jen

rose bookmarks

You love those net bath puffs, right? (Also called poufs if you want to be really posh about it.) They’re great for working up lather and daily exfoliating. What they aren’t good at is being washed. Throw them in the washer and they fall apart pretty quickly. Since they aren’t washable, it’s recommended that you […]

Cardi Shrug

May 14, 2010 by Jen

cardi shrug free knit pattern

I like the concept of shrugs, a small bit of knitting around your shoulders, something less than a full-on sweater, that will easily stay in place better than a shawl. But frequently find that shrugs don’t fit me well, and that no-front business sometimes seems to create a frame that emphasizes and draws attention to […]

Cable-Band Bag

January 5, 2010 by Jen

cable band bag pattern 1

Coming up with projects to knit while traveling can be a bit of a challenge for me, they need to be engaging enough to be interesting, but not so difficult that I need to constantly refer to patterns or charts. I had recently done another project with a cable braid, and it seemed to fit […]

Felted Dollhouse

December 18, 2009 by Jen

knit felted dollhouse pattern 1

This soft-sided, portable dollhouse could help keep kids entertained on the go without being very heavy or hard to carry. With a little creative imagination, you could create a tiny garden in the “yard” part of the fold-down flap, windows, decorations on the inside walls, and anything else you can dream up to customize it. […]

Openwork Rib Scarf

December 18, 2009 by Jen

knit openwork rib scarf pattern 1

This openwork rib stitch has a nice blend of lace and structure, which makes it great for a scarf. The stitch is easy to memorize, too. I used some leftover yarn to make a small scarf, of course you could easily make a longer scarf by using up more yardage. Finished Measurements: 32 inches by […]

Scrunchy Rib Scarf

December 13, 2009 by Jen

scrunchy rib knit scarf pattern

This pattern was borne out of pure laziness. I wanted to knit some kind of texture pattern, but I didn’t want to have to work at it, and I wanted as much plain knitting as possible. I worked a garter rib, and then made it even easier by working knit-2/purl-2 instead of knit-1/purl-1 on the […]

Lace Rib Neckwarmer

November 26, 2009 by Jen

lace rib knit neckwarmer

Neckwarmers are great for a few reasons. They’ll stay neatly in place even in a strong wind. They knit up quickly, and they’re a good way to test out a new stitch before committing it to a large project. Since they don’t require a lot of yarn, they’re good for using up stash, or make […]

Bulky Reversible Cable Braid Scarf

November 20, 2009 by Jen

bulky knit reversible cable braid scarf

This bulky knit scarf is so big and thick it’s almost like a wrap! For a scarf of this size, it’s a relatively quick knit, and it’s super warm. The cable braid is reversible, so it’s exactly the same on both sides. A white scarf is always flattering on any woman, but the pattern works […]
